The nacho’s with all meat. Very little hamburger, the chicken was dried out with awful flavor and loaded with beans the cheapest thing to put on it. Hardly any cheese. Chips were stale. Won’t be returning. The same guy from before is still there greeting everyone, that parks his silver van by the front door.

After the change of ownership, Maracas is SO back! If you haven’t been in a while, I suggest you give them another try. The margaritas are SO STRONG but also SO DELICIOUS!!! Let’s just say that by the time we made it to the bottom of the cup, I was having a good time 🤣🥴 And I even split it with my mom!! If I had a large all to myself, I would have been on the floor Needless to say…. I will definitely be back!! The only thing that still needs some improvement are the chips (I like when they are very fresh—warm and thin and crispy 🤤) but I know they will get there!!

Pretty good for a small town restaurant. I did not care for the salsa. It was completely smooth, no onions, cilantro, etc. it kind of tasted like ketchup. So I was questioning the food but it wasn’t bad.

Very polite. Accommodated my request when I was in a rush. Food is delicious.

We just moved to the area and decided to stop in for dinner. We’re SO happy we did! We loved that they had a covered patio with fun music to enjoy the nice weather. Chips were warm and perfectly crispy, and the salsa was nice and fresh! We both had house margs, and they were perfection. My fiancé had steak tacos while I had the grande fajita quesadilla with chicken, and both were so delicious with ample portions! Above all, the hospitality is truly what made this experience great and will keep us coming back, for our waiter was very warm and attentive, and the owner was extremely kind and personable, checking on us to make sure we were happy with everything. We always love to support a small business, and we can’t wait to make this a regular stop for dinner!

For the best Mexican food around come to New Melle.
We decided to give this place a try and we were not impressed. Maybe it was just a bad day for them but the service was slow. It looked like only one or two servers but even more people bussing the tables. We won't be returning.

I just want to thank Gabby and the entire Team at the restaurant for a great dining expand for helping celebrate our families March Birthdays! We had a Great Server named Gabby and the entire staff went out of there way to accommodate our group of 10 to celebrate 3 family members Birthdays!!! The Food was great and so was the entire afternoon! We highly recommend this restaurant!! Thank you everyone!

I actually really like this place for Mexican food. The portions are huge for the price and you get to try multiple things as well.
I've tried take out before (food was great, got the chile poblano, enchilada, and chimichanga). But this time we dined in and got the La Bandera, margarita, and another combo with the chimichanga. My only problem was that I found it a bit salty.
Service was amazing though, server took care of us and she noticed that I liked the chips and gave me extra to take home (that was really thoughtful).
The inside is always so busy which is not a bad thing, it shows that locals come there all the time.
Overall, really enjoyed this place. I would come back for more!
